bright blue fluted lapis in Ag

Description

Hopefully there are enough science nerds (like me) on DA that I won't have to explain the title too many times. Maybe I'm too wordy, but often I wish the title allowed just a few more characters.

This is a vintage bright blue fluted lapis cabochon. The cab is 15mm by 10mm and almost 10mm high, making it a little more difficult to wrap without overwhelming it with wire. In the end, I decided on this piece, the wirewrap itself was the focus and didn't worry (as much) about covering the stone.

I used a sloped wrap of 21g square Argentium Ag around the stone itself which allows me to bend wires only over the back of the stone, but still hold it very securely. It does leave the face of the stone showing slightly smaller than with my more typical wraps.

I think most of us will get it. And agreed with the length thing, though I miss it most when I want to use sarcastic or quotation type titles. It's a very dramatic shaped wrap, this one again strikes me as space agey. And I know you're still not sure about the fluting, but I like it very much with this style.
